PALESTINE FUNDRAISER / IRREGULAR COMMUNITY BUILDING ETHOS

 

INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO ENTER THE RAFFLE / DOWNLOAD A POSTER AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE 

Jolene here. As the world feels like it is crumbling around us, we are working to stay positive + hopeful, and do the little that we can in order to be the change we want to see (not easy I know you will agree)

When Mil + I first had the idea for the brand in 2017 we always knew it would be about much more than just selling things. Last month we wrote our manifesto, with one of the points being,  

"To use our platform to nurture relationships and build community with people and organisations who share our world-view, and to call out those who threaten it"

Although we are definitely not a financially viable business yet, we choose to put energy into causes we believe in (my business advisor was amused by us donating £3k to a homeless charity recently when we still don't pay ourselves), and trust that it will all work out in the end... 

We are fundraising just now for Palestinian families our friend Lou has been supporting since the genocide started, and the Gazan led mutual aid group Reviving Gaza.

On Saturday 26th April we had an open studio here in Glasgow where we raised over £600. To be followed by a 'Sunday Teas' in our flat on May 11th (more on that soon)

For the majority of folks unable to attend in person, there are three ways you can get involved with our fundraising:

1)A Raffle : Generously donated Prizes as in main image: 

1. 3 x garland bundles from East End Press
2. 1 x bundle from Black Lodge Press
3. One off lumen art print (35 x 28cm) from Kit Martin
4. Minimal pouch bag in putty from Hayley McSporran
5. Small Caramallow Throw from ISP
6. Hand knitted Shetland yarn feminist hat 
7. Set of four lino prints by the musician Jenny Sturgeon
8. 2 x modernist A4 art prints by Adam + Gillian  
9. One off Gaza Strip framed art print made by Hayley's mum
10. Leather pouch, glasses case + bookmark from SK Works 
11. Tryptic of prints and a stationery bundle from Risotto Studio 
    
    
      So fourteen prizes in total 

TO ENTER THE RAFFLE - A single ticket costs £2 [we can post prizes in UK only sorry]

Please pay to paypal here and choose friends + family. So if you donate £10, you will get 5 entries. 

We will draw the raffle on Friday 16th May, then will share the total we have raised from this, the poster downloads, and from our two in person events. 

2) A downloadable hi-res Irregular Free Palestine poster to print at home in A3 or A4

To access the poster, please pay £5 to the paypal campaign here, and ping me an email to let me know you've paid and I'll send you the link. 

3) Probably the most IRREGULAR thing. If you are placing an order with us, and would like to add on the most irregular lavender drawer scent thing you have ever seen, then we are here for you.... I over-ordered massively on lavender when we were making our zero waste meditation eye pillows, so I bought some deadstock cotton gloves on ebay, then have lovingly stuffed them, stitched them up and hand tied them with some Irregular fabric scraps. Yours in exchange for a £2 - £5 donation (but can only put in with an actual order so we don't have to pay extra for postage. Ping me an email to let me know...
